Webster's Pages: A Friend Loves...

Happy Friday! Today I have a layout to share with you using the brand new "Best Friends" collection from Webster's Pages. My layout is on the blog today with other designers incorporating a quote about friendship. I went straight to the Bible for a verse from Proverbs - "A friend loves at all times..." for my title.

The girls have always been best buddies but it has been so wonderful to see them latch onto other friends (mostly those from church). The girls are just both so outgoing and affectionate so making friends seems to come very easily to them. We have some pretty fun play dates with our small group friends and this particular outing was to the park. I managed to get several of them to stop for a quick photo. They really have a blast together!

I used a Jenni Bowlin doily punch and then punched the images out with a circle punch and added some Webster's Pages gems.

I just love mixing and matching Webster's Pages alphabet stickers to make my titles.

I tucked a scrap of the new blue lace trim behind the photo and the doily transparencies are by Maya Road.

In my journaling, I talk about what this verse has meant to me. We have had so many friends help us through really difficult times in the past and they walked with us on our adoption journey. We have also been able to show love to our friends through struggles they have had. We hope that the girls will always see us displaying Christ-like love to our friends and they, in turn, can show the same.

Thanks for stopping by today! I can't believe it's already the weekend. One of the girls had an ear infection this week and I have been battling this perpetual cold/allergy junk for the past 6 weeks. I never seem to get really sick but hover on the verge of it and then the next day I'll feel fine. And then a couple days later, I'm feeling icky again. It hasn't helped much that the weather has been gloomy. As long as everyone is feeling up to it, we are heading to a Halloween party at the YMCA tonight and my mom is coming to stay. And then we get to work some more on organizing/cleaning our basement. Yay! :)
